Interstellar DVD Release Date: Revealed!

Christopher Nolan has always embraced the DVD and Blu-Ray format with great abandon, almost offering his own film master class with the bonus features. He also has a ball with the more technical aspects of a home video. With the announcement of the release date and extras for Interstellar today, his passion for it seems to have only expanded.

Paramount revealed that fans of the blockbuster hit from late 2014 can get their hands on it when Interstellar lands on Digital HD on March 17 and Blu-Ray combo pack, DVD and On Demand on March 31.

Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine and Jessica Chastain star in a universe-spanning adventure that could not be timelier with the news of 2014 being the hottest year on record on planet Earth.

In Interstellar, Nolan has painted a picture of a planet that is on its last breaths. Humans must look to the stars for a new home and McConaughey and Hathaway have to leave their families behind and head out into the unknown for what could be decades to find a hospitable locale for man and womankind to continue.

Those Interstellar quotes are quite powerful too as the film shows the sacrifice that is needed at times to help the greater good.

As we stated in our Interstellar review, the visuals and sound effects are literally out of this world and that should be something that truly further impresses with the higher-def formats of home video.

Interstellar scored five Oscar nominations for Nolan’s work, mostly for technical categories, and that brilliance is explored in the many, many bonus features.
